[ laughter ] stephanie all right. Lets see. Bill writes if you missed hardball Dianne Feinstein was great. In the opening segment on Chris Matthews Dianne Feinstein gently chastised those, and rand dont drone any a cafe was a good way to discuss drone policy and then moving on to a serious issue. Will bunch tweeted and asked if ranked paul would have joined the filibuster on the civil rights act. [ applause ] stephanie yeah rand paul standing on his principles it depends on which one. But that was a ridiculous hypothetical. Jay carney read the letter from eric holder. Talking about somebody engaging in decent in the vietnam war. Its not the same thing. Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an american not engaged in come bot on american soil, the answer is no. But without that clarification it could have been legally read as the same thing. Stephanie yeah, and that opened the door to filibuster reform, perhaps. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] now harry reid is saying, wait a minute. Stephanie now you have john mccain and the southern bell in the vapors about the whole thing. The wall street journal slamming rand paul, fight fight fight [ applause ] stephanie but you are right its good we did the clarification, but its obviously what i assume he meant, engage a combatant not just yeah, the president is going to sen a drone to someone sitting in a cafe or jane fonda hypothetically protesting a government policy. But i dont know if we would have gotten that clarification without this stunt. So iming kind of glad he did it. Stephanie fight fight fight [ world news tonight theme ] Stephanie Center filibuster on cia nominee divides the gop. Good. Stephanie they were so cohesive before this. Tea and then a he. Over rand pauls old school filibuster. Mitch mcconnell, mitch mclipless. [ mumbling ] what . Stephanie i think he has [ mumbling ] Mitch Mcconnell and a filibuster just wouldnt be a good thing. Stephanie how long does it take them to figure out if he said yay or nay. Yay or nay senator. What . Grrrrrr, let me think about this for a while. Ive got all the time in the wooooorld. Noo stephanie and he has a whistle. He whistles when he says an s. Yessssssssjohn mccain and his southern bell Lindsey Graham. I dont remember any of you suggesting that president bush was going to kill anybody with a drone. Thank you, lindsay and have an extra mint julep on me. He said i must say the use of jane fondas name does bring up certain memories but she acted within her constitutional rights, and to say this is simply false. Thank you grampy. Thank you grampy. Lets hear it for the boys lets give the boy a hand stephanie fight. Fight and the wall street journal [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie calm down senator. I loved that. It was so condescending. Stephanie the Editorial Board was not among those lauding the senator, asking him to calm down. They are not one of his fans. Stephanie stop it. They brought in ann romney to tell him to stop it. Ann romney stop it. This is hard. You want to try it, get in the ring. Stephanie you want to try it without a catheter you try it. I am not one of your fans stephanie noting pauls theatrical timing. [ magic wand ] stephanie editorial remarked iffing only his reasoning matched his showmanship. It went on to note the hypothetical about americans sitting at a cafe calm down senator. Eric holder was correct when asked about drone strikes on u. S. Soil. What it can do under the laws of war is target an enemy combatant at anytime anywhere. The president can designate such a combatant if he belongs to an enemy that has taken up arms against the u. S. This does not include hanoid jane. Arguing we need more than political stunts that fire up kids in their college dorms. [ applause ] stephanie fight fight fight this just in by the way [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie this actually puts the republicans once again on the side of right. Stephanie regardless of what our concerns are, despite controversy, a new poll Shows Majority of americans on both sides of the aisle support the program. Last year 55 of americans approved. 56 now approve, just 26 disapprove. I approve of Foreign Program but not a domestic program. Stephanie this is what the attorney general just explained. What if it is an emmy combatant. He this is eric holder letter. Quote, does the president have the authority to use a whe onized drone to kill an american not engaged in combat on american soil . The answer is no. Stephanie right, but if they are engaged in combat, how is that not i think we have ways internally without our own laws without a drone. Stephanie here is what i dont get about the drone debate in terms of even overseas, there has obviously always been civilian casualties in war. So why would you object to a drone when we talked about iraq specifically how many civilian casualties were there. I dont object overseas. Stephanie im not arguing with you about that. Yes, you are. Stephanie im not saying you specifically its the domestic use of drones. These are two totally Different Things in fact who decides if someone is an enemy combatant. Stephanie if they are actively engaged in combat against the United States and they are on american soil what are you supposed to do . Here is rand paul yesterday. Hurray for 13 hours we asked them that question and so there is a result in a victory. Under duress and public humiliation, the white house will do the right thing. Stephanie oh, he is such a show boat. A filibuster is defined to be a show. Stephanie oh, after you, no go ahead. Pardon me, was i being rude . After you. Oh, no you first. A filibuster is designed to be a stunt Stephanie Harry reid winks at revisiting filibuster reform. Because while he was doing the real thing republicans filibustered another i just got something in my eye. Stephanie all right. Well talk about what that might mean for this. As we continue, 17 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer she is the life of the democratic party. Ignore the lamp shade. Its the Stephanie Miller show. Youre invited to take the lysol wipes challenge. Stop looking at car interiors. Get inspired by other stuff. Yep. Yep. Ok. Sure. Why not . Woah. Touchscreens. Put that in your dash. Now, luxury stuff. Make your seats like that. That thing has wifi, why doesnt your car . You cant do that. Ignore that guy. Give it wifi. Yes make it fit 5 people. No, 5 actual sized people. Give them leg room, good. Destroy boring car interiors forever. And thats how you do it. Easy. [clucking]. Everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny. Cause only he brings delicious cadbury creme eggs, while others may keep trying. Nobunny knows easter better than cadbury she gets the comedians laughing. Thats hilarious . And the thinkers thinking. Okay, so theres wiggleroom in the Ten Commandments is what youre telling me. Shes joy behar. And current will let me say anything. Only on current tv. And singing and moving to the grooving, and just when it hit me, somebody turned and started announcer Stephanie Miller. Play that funky music white announcer girl stephanie twentytwo minutes after the hour. I have completely ignored the do not feed the mooks sign. You fed him and you didnt feed me . Stephanie you are over there in your enclosure. You are more dangerous without protein. All right you can have some. Thank you. Stephanie just dont mall me. I just lit my last match. Stephanie little match boy. Here is a little treat for you, its your girlfriend queen bee in tennessee. Hi, queen bee. Caller hi, yall. Stephanie thank you for the beautiful afghan. Caller you are so welcome. Hey, chris. Hey, queen bee. Caller you know the boob song you have been talking about lately. Stephanie right. We saw your boobs, yeah. Caller if you notice what those women wear on the red carpet their him lines are slit to the waste they may as well wear a belt. And now they are going to get offended. They are in no position to complain about that song. Caller that is exactly right. When did meet the press become the john mccain show. Stephanie right. He is not even a senator from arizona anymore. He is a senator of the green room. Caller exactly. Stephanie thank you, queen bee. She sent me a beautiful afghan. [ inaudible ] stephanie a blanket, jim. Jenny in illinois you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, i would like to be the official independent Music Store Owner of the Stephanie Miller show. [ bell chimes ] stephanie yes. Caller and just john boner knows. We were effected by the sequester. I work for the railroad and our pay was just lowered. And somebody nobody is talking about, they are decimate the railroad. It is like the last awesome benefits, awesome pension, and they are tearing it apart. They have laid off 5,000 guys since october. But no one is talking about it but we were affected as of march 1st by the sequester. Stephanie yeah. [ inaudible ] doing to the post office. Caller exactly. Stephanie and i bet ya he works there all the live long day as well. Really . [ buzzer ] not a joke to be made when someone was furloughed. Because he doesnt work there all the live long day. Stephanie he used to but not anymore thanks to the boner. Donnie in chicago. Hello, donna. All right then. Mike in chicago, welcome. Caller hey, steph, hey gang. Its time for the conspiracier this res, it has been pounded into our head that they can change the id of any law, so how do we know that what is the new definition of combat. Were not allowed to kill any american citizen on american soil involved in combat and what if you are vacationing in london. Why cant they just have in the law were not allowed to kill american citizens without a trial. Uhhuh. That makes sense. Stephanie yeah, all right. How do you define an enemy combatant . What is combat. Stephanie yeah. Its a nebulous definition stephanie you can imagine this hypothetical happening and the republicans will immediately say he is weak on terror. You know. All right,ing rand paul. And that cousin someone has determined might be a terrorist, now he is associated with terrorism. Did the country or the president get to the side he is an enemy combatant and gets no lawyer or trial exactly. Stephanie he said that he answered their questions sufficiently. His original question. Exactly. Thats what he did the filibuster. He wanted that answered. Stephanie right. Southern bell senator lynn yesterday. I find the question offensive. This president is not going to use a drone against a noncombatant sitting in a cafe sitting anywhere in the United States. Stephanie if even Lindsey Graham can say really . He is not a big obama supporter. Thats all im saying is rand paul but i wouldnt put it past dick cheney to do Something Like that. Stephanie exactly. Lindsey graham again. As much as i disagree with president obama, as much as i support as president , i do not believe that question deserves an answer. Stephanie what is he talking about the central question . Yes. The central question, would president obama use drones on americans on american soil. Stephanie right. And we got the answer. John mccain. I think a disservice to a lot of americans by making them believe that somehow they are in danger from their government. They are not. Stephanie carol in indiana, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, carol. Caller hi. If we nowhere someone in the United States whether they are [ inaudible ] the drones to kill why cant we just send local or federal Law Enforcement stephanie thats what chris is saying. Caller go through channels. Right. Drones make sense if you are in a foreign country right because we have no jurisdiction within the country. And theres no guarantee of due process in other countries. Stephanie right. And thats why to save american troops we do it in other countries. Exactly. Stephanie lots more good stuff, i havent even gotten to harry reid winks at reforming filibuster [ bell chimes ] stephanie obviously there are some thoughts on this too. So yay, rand paul. Thanks for bringing it up again. Twentynine minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. To the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern children, if i learned anything from my years as a groupie for the Dave Matthews band, it was to listen. So now you listen to announcer Stephanie Miller. Stephanie this hour brought to you by therabreath mouthwash and toothpaste i just used my this morning. Available at target walmart walgreens, and other fine stores. It is clear. It is. [ magic wand ] stephanie its not that sicky sweet toothpaste but it really works. Stephanie oh, my god. Smell that. Can you smell that everybody . Especially after greek food. Stephanie yes. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Senator rand paul yesterday. Their position is that the whole world is battlefield and that the laws of war apply to america. In you are in afghanistan and they are shoot you but in our country, you do have due process. Stephanie okay. So he actually makes sense. Stephanie he did. Just what is the bit that hal does about ron paul its dance music, it sounds good from the other room and then you are like wait a minute most of this is nonsense. Here is the big news [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie he decided against using a catheter everybody. Really . Stephanie yes, glenn beck asked if he considered using a catheter . Stephanie he did i did think about it. I put them in before. He is an eye doctor . Stephanie he is really slow. No wonder he doesnt want regulations in the medical field. You have go to through there to get to your eye. Stephanie thats what happens when you have libertarian eye doctor. [ cuckoo clock chimes ] from your junk up to your eye socket. What . Stephanie who is going to them him no . I suppose you want regulations you nazi. Stephanie after 13 hours he said i have discovered there are some limits to filibuster im going to have to go take care of those in a minute. He could have had a stadium buddy. Stephanie right. Senator mitch mclipless. Why does he not answer questions that have not been asked yet. Stephanie donna in chicago. Welcome. Hello, donna. Donna. I seem to be having trouble with my donna line. Yes. Stephanie hello . Derick in atlanta. Caller a drone is nothing but a weapon on american soil. Now the question im getting to is its nonsense [ inaudible ]. [overlapping speakers] caller hi. Stephanie go ahead. Stephanie basically what rand paul is trying to do is this he is trying to protect these neonazis and extremist groups such as Ted Stephanie he did say one hypothetical about what the drone Libertarian Group going to meet i mean it really was caller what they are doing is this. They have these Training Camps like terrorist camps overseas. Maybe the government is using these drones to observe these people. Now what i want to ask you is this, a drone is nothing but a weapon, and if you look at it it can be used and no one has said about shooting anyone on american soil, but these are the people he is trying to protect. He has intelligence as we know. These people are being objected like ted nugent saying he going to kill people. You got people on internet threatening against the government, so he is coming out and trying to protect these people. Stephanie i think thats what they clarify it is not an intent. It is somebody engaged in combat actively against the United States. He go so into hypotheticals. Would we have bombed jane fonda . No. And then he talked about kent state, but his examples were ridiculous, i thought. Well kent state stephanie no, the president but drones against war protesters . No. But thats what the National Guard did. They killed students protesting war. Stephanie right. I understand trust movie to fill three hours a day, so i understand, filling 13 hours, you have going to say ridiculous things. I say ridiculous things just for three hours. Right. I should play them all back for you stephanie no i could never run for office. I said what now. Richard from chicago. Caller hi, like the show. Were flying drones and killing people, now stephanie wait. Wait. Richard to go to chriss argument about again why we dont need to do it here is because we have Law Enforcement and jurisdiction here what do we do in pakistan . Well, we declare war on them might be a start stephanie we should declare war on pakistan. Caller were killing people there, and we did it in vietnam stephanie i disagree we should declare war on pakistan we have killed a lot of civilians in pakistan stephanie but do i have a problem of going into pakistan which is exactly what obama said he would do. They will not help and they had intelligence that Osama Bin Laden was there, and he got him. Stephanie but that was ant drone strike. Stephanie right. It was a man with a bun stephanie right, but i dont think we can do surgical strikes in every single instance. No, thats impossible. Stephanie dave hey, dave. Caller if you are traditional republicans and the likes of rand paul [ inaudible ] mccain and Lindsey Graham have been in the senate a long time and i think fundamentally they have a trust of the government but then you have these rand pauls who is libertarian and looks through everything with libertarian glasses, so the government is always suspect, just waiting to do something bad to you thats more anarchist. Caller well to a degree, but the fact is government is suspect, so he has to make sure at every turn that the government is not going to be doing something bad, and it struck me as a kind of one of the things that made me feel sad about it is can we no longer operate with any kind of assumption that the government isnt going to do Something Like this internally . I think a slight mistrust of what the government does is actually healthy. Caller well, i do too, chris. Thats the whole business of why i agree with you completely on that. I had major distrust for the bush cheney administration. Stephanie right. Caller exactly. Can i say one thing slightly naughty . Stephanie yes. Caller that point of entry may not be the way to get to my eyes, but it is the way to get to my heart. [ circus music ] stephanie oh you little stamp. Dont tell rand paul the quickest way to your eye. Yeah, he is letting the market decide. If the market sayses you should go in through your blank hole stephanie right. Harry reid what i have learned with filibuster is this to succeed you need strong convictions but also a strong bladder. It is obvious senator paul has both. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie this would be good. This help lead to real filibuster reform. It made him a folk hero on the right, but also provided a healthy goes of oxygen. Harry reid said we should all reflect on what happened yesterday as we proceed on nominations. This can be a senate where ideas are debated in full public view or a small minority obstructs from behind closed doors without ever coming to the floor. As we were saying on the same day, the senator quietly that was through are wusesy filibuster, those. Stephanie right. Thats what im saying. Yesterday we saw both sides working on one hand my colleagues did not demand order, instead [ inaudible ] qualification of a qualified nominee. Republicans hid beside a clochure vote. But think republican senator did return to regular order. He spoke for as long as he was able. That is a filibuster. So reids comments democrats expressed hope that the january bill would usher in a new era of comedy in the chamber commuter says no. Comity not comedy. Stephanie right. Well it did both. Thank you. Although his comments wink at revisiting reform. Its not clear he intends to do so. How has that worked out so far, i wonder . I think its time to revisit the merkley amendment. Shine a light on it. Well that will show them. Really . Oh, now im sure they are going to do the right thing. You have never scene the movie. 10 to 20 million i think you would really enjoy that movie. Stephanie i think i will get it this weekend. Chris in kentucky. Caller hey steph and the mooks i found you back in october by accident on curry, and event missed a day since. Stephanie oh precious pumpkin, go ahead. Caller down here in kentucky we have a military base that has a lot of gold on it yeah [ inaudible ]. Caller i didnt say that. Stephanie now you gave it away, fort knox is where now were going to have a drone strike. Caller my wife works there and works for a specific contract that takes care of soldiers going to school today it was informed that they are pulling Tuition Assistance from soldier. Great. Caller all of these solders who are in school right now and paying through the military for their classes are now going to have to pay out of pocket for courses that they are already enrolled in. Stephanie yeah. Wow. Caller and a bunch of people are getting laid off because of this. Stephanie yeah, real people, real consequences. Hey, chris what is that thing right outside the window. [ explosion ] i put us all in danger. Stephanie you and your chatty pie hole about where fort knox is. All right. Well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ laughter ] im sorry.

Welcome to it. Fiftyone minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. I have greek food breath now. Thank you. Stephanie im getting you a therabreath lozenge, because i cannot tolerate you. Lee go ahead. Caller i want to bring up a point and hear what you think about it. This 9 minimum wage where republicans are going crazy over it and this and that every time the minimum wage has gone up it has created jobs and they say the complete opposite, so there again they are lying. Stephanie yeah. Its ridiculous when you consider a place like walmart thats average wage is 8. 87 an hour, this is an corporation that is clearing 15 billion a year. Are they that much into their pockets to where they dont even want to consider raising minimum wage . Stephanie yeah, when people have money to buy your products everybody wins. They act like its some outrageous amount, and they wont way it jim. Its outrageous i wont pay it. Stephanie hi go ahead. Caller is that the mooks, are they now a mannel or stephanie they are a panel of mooks. [ laughter ] caller i have an observation and kind of a rhetorical question. Most of quite often the republican side is the extreme republican side that is has always come out and said obama is a socialist or a nazi or hes stephanie right. Caller this that and another. Stephanie right. Caller but at the same time a significant portion have aryan brotherhood tendencies white supremacist tendencies stephanie right. Caller so thats kind of like their panacea right there. Having a hitler type environment, but they keep comparing president obama to this. So its sending mixed signals. Stephanie i see what you are saying, i dont know how hitler would feel about being compared to a black guy, jim. He didnt shake jesse owens hand at the olympics because he didnt consider him a human being. Stephanie theres that. Alena you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, i just want to Say Something about this whole rand paul thing and you alls support of this man who is a racist. Its amazing to me. This is the exact reason stephanie i dont i dont support rand paul. Caller okay. Fine. I just want to make my statement and you guys can say whatever you want to. Im at the point i do not care. Stephanie no i said earlier, i think he would have filibustered the civil rights act. Caller yes, but my point is this right here is the exact reason you the expressions on your show, they are the exact reason why liberals and progressives are always on the losing end in elections. Stephanie we just won the last one. Caller excuse me oh, well then. Stephanie we won the last one. Caller i understand we won the last one, but what im saying is what they are trying to do is what they always do is divide, and who always falls for it is liberals and progressives. They always fall for it. Stephanie i agree with you caller let me say this. Okay. Fine. Let me say this. That man is a racist. He is. Caller and that in my opinion trumps everything until the day liberals and progressives start supporting this racist is anything is the day i close my ears theres no well, you know there is no well, you know. Okay. The world doesnt work in black and white alena. One man cannot be completely evil or completely good. He did with the filibuster he did one good thing. The rest of him completely sucks. Stephanie i agree with rand paul on iraq and that is it. No, you must be idealogical pure stephanie i agreed with her most of the time. You guys are an impediment the world isnt completely good or completely evil. Thats bad for democracy for people to express their opinions. You must agree with me completely stephanie its true because liberals we do tend to get easily divided and thats why the Stephanie Miller show is a dictatorship. Stephanie right. Screw you. [ laughter ] Stephanie George in missouri. Aint no friggin democracy here. Caller hi with respect to this drone dust up, i would like to know what is the definition of combatant. Thats right. I said the same thing. Caller and then stephanie well, do you really think somebody sitting at a cafe the president is going to send a drone into a cafe in america, do you really think that . Im talking about when you are talking about somebody actively engaged in combat against the United States of america. But we have killed a lot of civilians not on purpose. Caller but i would still like to know what the definition of combatant is. Stephanie we have killed civilians by other means in every war in history. Right, but like what rand paul was saying if your cousin is a terrorist, and you associate with your cousin does that make you a terrorist. Stephanie you are an idiot to agree with anything that rand paul says. And you are a racist. Stephanie fiftyeight minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme music ] stephanie hello current tv land, Jacki Schechner, since all liberals are turning on each other this morning let me drag you into the fray. Ron widen the democrat joined rand paul, and someone was saying didnt he do that during the health care thing . Yeah widen had a plan that wanted to the best way to describe it, to disattach maybe unattach Health Care Benefits from employment and its not an unreasonable suggestion but his alternate plan was counterproductive to what we were trying to do. Stephanie right. Im just saying we are easelly duped our liberals. I would like to thing were more inclusive. We tend to embrace other peoples perspectives. Stephanie oh, you are so diplomatic. Shes good. Here she is in the current news stern. Good morning, everybody, we talked a lot about the jobs numbers during Campaign Season but we havent discussed them in a while to said might as well be a good day to start. We added 236,000 jobs last month, and the Unemployment Rate has jobbed to 7. 7 . The jobless rate has now been below 8 for six months in a row. Economists werent expecting such positive numbers, they were estimated closer to 160,000 jobs, and the jobless rate to stay static at 7. 9 . A group working to recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio says it is more than a third of the way to the signatures it needs. They have selected 120,000 signatures so far, it needs 335,000 by may 30th. They registered in january to launch the effort to recall the sheriff. They say arpaio is not fulfilling his share of duties because he puts Immigration Enforcement above all else. And the Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments on the defense of marriage act in about three weeks from now, and now the man who signed it says it needs overturned. President clinton said when he signed the bill he thought it might help stop discrimination, but he said he made a mistake. Were back after the break. Going to do the young turks. I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know that im going to be the first one to call them out. They can question whether im right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. Youre invited to take the lysol wipes challenge.

[ applause ] i think i will. Here is a great report on the tv. Pants bomb slipped through tsa. So we have been radiating ourselves for no purpose. [ explosion ] stephanie speaking of bomb shells, bob nay has himself a book. He is the guy that went into the pokey [ inaudible ]. Stephanie he went to jail. He was a congressman from ohio. Yeah. [ funfacts music ] stephanie he says boner was more concerned abouting fundraising and fun than campaigning. Fun wow stephanie lazy. Many felt his money raising focus would make up for his lack of concern about legislation. He was considered a man who was all about winning and money. He was a chain smoking wine drink who was more interested in the high life. Thats what they pay for me. Stephanie he goes on to say that boner was lazy took thousands of dollars in booze. Lazy living off of the government doll. Sucking on that government teat. As long as it is filled with bourbon. Stephanie or merlot. Sean hannity, oh, they are feeling plucky over there. Between the sequestration overreach and rand paul there seems to be an energy now among the grassroots people seem really, really kind of excited, and now people taking on the president , the president loosing, overreaching miscalculating, do you think this should be a shift in momentum politically speaking . Stephanie no. Rush said that yesterday i imagine there is a whole shift [ wah wah ] mitt romney will move to be the real president after all. Stephanie now you have the establishment like mccain and graham on one side yeah, it is a mess. Stephanie bill oreilly. Because the rightwing has demonized president obama so much, Many Americans are tuning out. All of this birth certificate and muslim stuff has actually helped barack obama, because now when theres a legitimate criticism that he is mismanaging the u. S. Economy big time many people dont even pay attention. They dont even listen. But this spending issue is vital for all of us, and thats why im raising my voice. Stephanie oh. Thats why you act like a lunatic. You are a liar [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie maybe he didnt get the report about unemployment a fouryear low and stock market all time high. Yes. Stephanie so seriously mismanaging the economy in what way now . He pulls it back from the mess that george bush created. And people like Social Security and medicare. Because they pay into it. Uhhuh. So they expect something out of it. Exactly. Stephanie how about that paul ryan coming back with the Voucher Program again. I wont go i wont i wont you cant make me its not about your [overlapping speakers] stephanie skad l along now. Its premium support. Its very, very serious. Stephanie Stuart Barney fox and friends. It is deliberate. He wants to impose the pain. I cant remember a president ever doing that before. Imposing deliberate pain. Its the republicans who wanted it but as an american in all of my years of being an american i app appalled of what this Prime Minister has done oops. Stephanie im from kalamazoo. Thats his kalamazoo accident. Stephanie Rush Limbaugh. The liberals have leaders who are radicals who are trying to corrupt as much of the institution that has defined the country, and the followers glom on to something that makes them feel good, compassion love whatever. And they think they are being fair and openminded and they are actually being hoodwinked into ideas that end up corrupting really good things. And its not just gay marriage its an allout assault. He sounds disspirited. Stephanie he sounds line he has lost the will to be specific in any way. [ mumbling ] stephanie i dont have the energy to think through. See my point is. He sounds like he needs a hug, like three or four or five people stephanie hands across rush. Yes. Stephanie maybe his oxycontin prescription has run out. Stephanie monica crowley. A little bit more cynical about the president s motives here. He has set up paul ryan before. He invited paul to sit front and center and then proceeded to ream him and all of his policies. This president s history of behavior with republicans, he has done this before so that then he can turn around and say, look, i met with them, i had dinner. We had long conversations ago politics and policy, and nothing came about, and therefore it is their fault. So it could be a set up. She doesnt seem to get how negotiations work does she . This is what he does stephanie its a kenyan plot when he was it what they think about stuff which people dont like, and then i i dont really have a point. Poor monica. Stephanie go be bewildered by things with Brian Kilmeade. Oh, its dark. Where is the bright thing . There it is . Stephanie michelle malkin. Even there are disagreements of president ial authority should be in wartime, the fact that you had a singular figure grab the platform, seize the narrative, and force a very uncomfortable issue in front of the white house and the world, thats the kind of leadership that a lot of conservatives have been looking for. Yes, go with that. All conservatives and agreed with him. Stephanie right. Lindsey graham right behind him. Well.

Stephanie my favorite period. Judy in detroit you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller good morning, momma. Im in a bit of a liberal tizzy here. I got an email from Debbie Stabenow announcing that center karl levin is not running for reelection. Bad news. Yeah, horrible news for michigan here, because were not wellknown for putting up viable candidates. I think Jennifer Granholm would be a fantastic candidate. Caller she would be great. Thats how we got john snyder. Stephanie right. Caller he emailed this morning stating that the reason he is not going to be running again is because he would have to spend the next two years campaigning, raising money, and he plans on just doing his job. Stephanie yeah. Caller i think that is just really kind of telling the state of our elections. Stephanie yeah absolutely. By the way [ patriotic music ] stephanie chuck writes steph rand paul cares nothing about drones. As the caller said rand paul is first and foremost a racist. Did you give hitler credit for a united germany. Stupid argument. [ laughter ] i apologize for using nuance. I like the oldance myself. Stephanie chris go ahead. Caller hi. This is my first time to call. Im from kansas where you probably dont get a lot of calls from kansas because there arent too Many Democrats here. Stephanie right. Caller but the thing i wanted to talk about is once the drones, which it seems like were kind of droning on here stephanie oh, see what you did there. Caller but when you have rand paul talking about what i felt like were ridiculous hypotheticals, and its fear mongering, and what they have been using since before the president even became president. As soon as he started campaigning, these people were using fear mongering, and i saw maybe it was on rachel a statistic where militias have increased by like 800 since the president took office and when you use examples like that it is playing into that fear that has been established by the rightwing, Rush Limbaugh, fox news, and its just wrong. Stephanie you raise an interesting point, you know, isnt that one of the hypotheticals, speaking of someone that could take up arms against their own government yeah, if a militia took it upon itself to start another civil war stephanie yeah. The tim mcveigh types, and particularly as she pointed out since obama has been in office. But going avids is thats a little dicey stephanie enemy combatants are you talking about a david koresh or ruby ridge . Stephanie somebody that takes up arms against the United States. Thats a loose definition stephanie an active combatant is not somebody sitting in a cafe. Lynn in North Carolina. Caller hey, steph this is i got a couple of things first of all is there any way we can impeach ron paul just for stupidity. Stephanie thats not an impeachable offense. Otherwise there wouldnt have been a george w. Bush administration. Caller thats true. I called my congress because i wanted to know what kind of hit the congress was taking because of the sequestration. And i had a staffer tell me it was constitutionally wrong for them to take any kind of a cut, and i hadnt heart about that. Stephanie to take a pay cut i think a democratic senator actually proposed them passing a law yeah, but they cant. Its unconstitutional or something. Stephanie twentynine minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Those types are coming on to me all the time now. She gets the comedians laughing. Thats hilarious . And the thinkers thinking. Okay, so theres wiggleroom in the Ten Commandments is what youre telling me. You would rather deal with ahmadinejad then me. Absolutely and so would mitt romeny. Shes joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . Only on current tv. Announcer Stephanie Miller. Oh, look, everybody, its the burning bush. Is there something you are not telling us. Its itchy. Scratch, scratch, scratch. Oh, you bstwshgard. Mook drone hypothetical you played idaho right. Stephanie you are getting sleepy. Tim mcveigh is 15 minutes away from murdering 168 people the truck is full of explosives the president has a drone, but this is the hypothetical past, and they have a drone, should the president order a drone strike what do you do . Or does he call the aj you throw down a strike strip. Stephanie excuse me. There is an idea. Throw down a strike strip. Stephanie what is that . They put strikes to blow up our tires. Stephanie maybe they dont have time to do that but they have time to call in a drone stephanie drones are fast. Lets not fight. Its friday. Out with steph, chris, and jim, and jacki so fine yeah drinking boxed wine they take steph on their [ inaudible ] for hours she says she is walking on sunshine drinking boxed wine drinking boxed wine la la, la, la [ applause ] stephanie thank you Rocky Mountain mike. The spike strip would have prevented Timothy Mcveigh from blowing up the building a drone would have killed him before doing anything. Stephanie uhhuh. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie the lowest unemployment in more than four years. Hallelujah bombobama quester. Stephanie now thanks. This is why we cant have nice economic things. [ applause ] stephanie i wonder what Rush Limbaugh will have to say today. Youll see after the election they will be revised downward blum, blum blum jay carney. Again and again this president has moved towards republicans in trying to find common ground. Stephanie cha. A little too much. Stephanie talking about paul ryan. The president believes that chairman ryan is a thought leader in the party. Bad thoughts. He had to say that, right . Stephanie paul ryan railed against the medicare savings and promised that a Romney Administration would offset the looming sequester. And now he plans to unveil a plan that contains many of the same elements that he campaigned for. And also vouchers are back. Its premium support. You get 0. 20 off your next major surgery. Stephanie and the boner. We went through months of Campaign Style events all over the country, and now he has gone 180, now he is going to actually sit down and talk to members. Stephanie he has talked hah talked and talked and reached out and reached out, you are the one that walked away because eric cantor gave you a bitch face and told you too. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie looky here. That will fix it. [ laughter ] stephanie sometimes just the headline says it all, nra official barred from carrying guns because of Domestic Violence violence. The field representative in new york banned from carrying guns because of a confrontation that arose with his now exwife, there were 39 pistols and shotguns kept in the house. He admitted he wanted to harass and annoy his wife by subjecting her to physical content. [ applause ] Stephanie Annie in santa monica. Hi, annie. Caller good morning. I have one thing to say about the drones. It kind of looks like rand paul just held a shiny object up in the air and yelled squirrel. Stephanie yeah. Caller they are going have Social Security, medicare the post office, railroad and were talking about drones from rand paul, a what if for three years obama he is here for another three and a half years, we can fix this, but right now there are so many things we have to address stephanie i agree with you. Caller and this is just a squirrel. Stephanie yep, shiny object. He did bring back the actual filibuster. Stephanie good. Harry reid get on it. Mark in los angeles. Hi, mark. Caller hi stephanie, mooks how are you today . Stephanie good. Caller i would like to be the official black pharmaceutical rep on your show. Bell stephanie we need one of those. Is symbalta for me or not . [ laughter ] caller were shooting ourselves in the foot stephanie we just [ censor bleep ] shot ourselves. Caller yeah, false equivalence is the name of the game for the republicans and were playing it. A drone strike in pakistan where an enemy combatant is where we cannot get to them with our Law Enforcement, is crazy. Versus trying to compare it to someone sitting in a cafe where we can use Law Enforcement to actively pursue them. The hypothetical about tim mcveigh, it just doesnt work and the spikes we have seen it watching cops we have seen how well those work. So there will be times for us to reel it in and say what are we talking about here in this is a shiny object trying to draw our attention away from what is really happening in that the economy is still improving despite the sequester stephanie well but it is just underway. Caller i agree. They are trying to take us away from what is coming. Cornell west calls the president a war criminal, and he is losing his mind. Stephanie i agree. Lisa in alabama you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, what i want to say about drones is the only time that technology was used was back duringward world war iagainst minors. Stephanie we may have to google that not drones caller stephanie we lost you, but okay. Glenn da in ohio hi glenda. Caller hi, miss miller. I wanted to ask you a question and follow the question up with the reason why. Okay . Stephanie okay. Caller i wanted to know if you thought that if you thought that perhaps the fcc was and afraid of the Republican Party or full of the Republican Party . The reason that i ask is because i wrote them an email, and filled out their form online complaining that fox news is not news; that they are a republican propaganda machine. Stephanie right. Caller and i cited that conspiracy with [ inaudible ] and mixson and mourdock and instead of charging fox news they want to charge warner cable and direct tv and they told me that i had no grounds for those charges against fox news. Stephanie well, yeah, im not sure jim lets go back to propaganda laws do you know anything no, i dont really know. Stephanie if they could just put quotes around news i would be happy. Fox opinion channel. Stephanie exactly. That would work. What that woman was referencing was the battle of blare mountain stephanie oh so a bunch of witches no, coal miners were trying to unionize and there was a big uprising, and private planes were hired to drop homemade bombs on the miners. Stephanie the government did . Im trying to yeah find that out. Stephanie well regoogle. I still have it up its just a long article stephanie fortyfive minutes after the hour. Well be right back. Announcer i got her number off of the mens room stall. 1800steph12. Documentaries that take you inside the headlines, way inside. vo from the underworld, to the world of privilege.

Stephanie speaking of time Rocky Mountain mike reminds us that daylight savings time this weekend. Set your clock forward one hour sunday, unless you are anthony scalia, and then you set it back 50 years. [ circus music ] stephanie see what he did there. Matthew with a good one. Steph the ex [ patriotic music ] stephanie will use the drone issue to pry the heads the iraq war is [ inaudible ] then i followed down his cookie path in 2008 because he was right about this why else couldnt he be right about everything else. I voted for him but it wasnt until a series of events in my life snapped me out of the fog of paranoid dilutions. Thank you matthew. [ applause ] stephanie looky who is calling do we have a jingle of any sorts. Oh. Stephanie because she hasnt called in a while im just sort of curious what she has to say maybe not. Stephanie lets just say hello road flair mary from chicago. Hi mary welcome. Caller hi, i just had a comment all of your callers bash fox news because they say they bash the democrats. What do you do . What does mmnbc do whatever it is called. All they do is bash the problem is fox news lies caller no, no, no. The democrats the anointed one lies. And you know what stephanie you think that because you watch fox news. What was the president lie about . Caller everything. And the rest of the government is starting to wake up. Oh, god. Caller oh god is that turtle head over there. What did you call him . Caller turtle head. He has no neck. And he is always stuffing his face. And his impressions you know what get another job. [ buzzer ] stephanie i can pick on my own mooks, but you cant. Your impressions are very good. Stephanie your impressions are spectacular. Thats not his own no neck. Thats Mitch Mcconnells own no neck. She just wanted to get in her anointed one thing. Its friday, everybody. What . Fugelsang, fugelsang stephanie he is here early. Hello. Good morning. Stephanie good morning, John Fugelsang. Well, its pretty hard to follow mary, i got to say. The anointed one, do you love these people who have Ronald Reagan love dolls talking about obama. Its so quaint. Stephanie we asked her specifics, and she didnt seem to have any my impacted colon tells me he is are socialist. By the way he is an elected one, twice. Bring me a funnel [ inaudible ]. I am hate, i am an id with skin stretched over it. And i mean that in a positive way. Stephanie rich in ohio. Caller hi. The drone thing is not a real big deal everybody president since kennedy has loved the cia and special forces. But rand paul up there yapping especially at the end not breaking Strom Thurmonds record stephanie yeah he could have gone longer if he talked about the things he agreed with Strom Thurmond on right . Caller thats right. Stephanie he should have manned up and wore a diaper like Strom Thurmond did. Caller right. When you consider how many Cable News Networks are being propped up with catheter ads at this point stephanie he obviously has low t. Not watching all of the right commercials. Caller if you dont want to kill the guy in the low t commercial, you might have low t. Stephanie thats right. Hi, welcome. Caller what a whimp rand paul is, because he he cried about standing there for 12 hours and talking. There are plenty of people in this country that stand at their jobs for 12 hours and work a line. Im a hairdresser i work 12 hours sometimes standing there doing work, not just talking stephanie and having to listen to all of our stupid conversation when were sitting in those chairs, right . Caller oh my gosh. Stephanie blah blah blah. Caller and the worst is when the republicans get in there and start talking, and i cannot say a word. It is so frustrating stephanie be honest, do you give them a little bit of a bad haircut caller no, my customers most of them are not, but i stand between two girls that are republicans and they get everything so wrong, and they listen to fox news stephanie you are like cant we turn these higher dyers up to 11 so i cant hear you. John fugelsang yes . Stephanie i understand you did a delightful poem. Yes, my dr. Seuss contribute to rand paul and his whole view on Civil Liberties. Stephanie take you. Andy in new york. Hello, andy. Caller i voted for barack obama and i i dont know i i think that rand paul is a deeply problematic figure rand paul tried to strip one of my Close Friends press credentials in dc. So i think its deeply hypocritical that he is trying to pander to this kind of conspiratorial base in regards to drones he has the freedom to take away other peoples freedoms. Caller exactly. And what deeply saddens me in the whole process is that its rand paul bringing these arguments and not somebody more level headed because we do have a problem in the last 15 years or so of becoming more and more overbrood. Stephanie yeah, i agree, hypotheticals, a little ridiculous. Theres a lot of problems with the drone policy rand is the wrong spokesperson. Stephanie all right. Fiftyat it minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme music ] stephanie Jacki Schechner health care geek i have some Health Care News for you according to a german study published by the International Headache society [ phone ringing ] stephanie International Headache society, can you hold.

That gets rid of the i have a headache excuse. Stephanie bah jim will just say ill [ censor bleep ] the hell out of ya. Im not sure that has been per scribed. Stephanie i know. Here she is Jacki Schechner. Good morning, everybody. Former Congress Woman Gabby Giffords is going to be this years reipcipient of the jfk profile award. She will be honored for her fareless public advocacy care line kennedy will give out the award on may 5th. Marco rubio says he will not sign a bill unless it defunds the Affordable Care act. Rubio told conservative talk show host hugh hue it that he will only vote for resolution if it includes ted cruzs amendment. The house passed a measure on wednesday that would keep funding going until september. The senate is working on a similar plan. Anden Osama Bin Laden an alqaeda spokesman has just pled not guilty in a new york court. He was taken into custody on a stopover in your jordan. His role in alqaeda is similar to that propaganda minister in a totalitarian regime. Were back with more show after the break. Stick around. This show is about analyzing criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room monday to thursday at 6 eastern [clucking]. Everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny. Cause only he brings delicious cadbury creme eggs, while others may keep trying.

Im going to get my sexy on with all of those freaks as you call them in chicago. Stephanie right. How dare you. Stop it you are making me hot for you. I was laughing at how funny your john boner skit was, that you, so white that that just looked like a normal tan on you. It looked like that vacation i took to chernobyl, actually. Yeah, we do this reenactment theater. And it got a lot of traction this week stephanie it is like john finally got some time in the sun oh no he is doing a new boner skit. It looks like i just huffed cheato dust with john boehner. I have the exact right color of freaky orange tint. Stephanie your poem do you need music . No, i can just give it to you. You know after rand did his filibuster, which i give him some credit for, stand with ranked is what everyone was raying. I stand with rand i stand with man the filibuster issue you at hand, the stand with rand i stand with rand, mcconnell is too tan, and boehner is too tan, but theres one thing friends that i cant understand if senator paul is the Civil Liberties man as he claimed to be, why do so many liberties not fit in rands plan. He wants freedom for all in the land, but not for a man who wants to marry a man, what part of freedom cant rand understand there is a law for disabled americans, but sorry you folks in that handicap van, rand think it is wrong we gave you a hand. And senator rand thinks that the [ inaudible ] and impose it on that racist white businessmen forcing restaurants to serve blacks was bathe out of hand. The government shouldnt be allowed to command what people cant do and what people can, unless you a woman whos pregnant unplanned then senator rand thinks the government can, because if you seek abortion because that choice is between you and your doctor maam, senator rand has a quite different plan that choice should be made not by you but a man. I really like your stand on drones man, i agree that the drug war should really be banned and your father is [ inaudible ] in that oversized suit that he wore when we ran, but if you are saling yourself as the liberty can while doubting the [ inaudible ] Marriage Equality just cannot stand and the civil righting act must be garbaged can, then frankly my dear i just dont give a damn. [ cheers ] somewhere ted giezell was smiling. Stephanie spectacular my dear. Thank you. Sometimes you have to go zeus on them. Stephanie exactly, go dr. Seuss on his ass. You were saying chris, this morning that bill clinton had some thoughts on doma. He said the reason he signed doma was to prevent the republicans from getting an actual constitutional amendment through, so he said it was a stopgap that he hoped would be repealed at some point it had to do with his reelection too. If he had come out in favor of gay marriage it would have help bob dole and hurt gay americans as well. [ inaudible ]. Lets be nice to bob dole he is George Mcgovern next to these guys. Stephanie opposition to samesex marriage narrow and concentrated study finds exit polls find resistance to samesex marriage is shrinking and mainly concentrates among older people white evangelicals and noneducated white. Those 65 and older expressed opposite by a 21 margin you know what stephanie you know what . Those younger than 6 [ inaudible ] opposed samesex marriage by 31 [overlapping speakers] stephanie other voters expressed support so pretty much nobody. By doubledigit margins. Meanwhile africanamericans another pocket of opposition white voters who do not have a college education. Yeah, it is becoming a really you know narrow and concentrated. Thats right. Yeah, you cant stop progress. If prop 8 was coming up today it would never pass. In 2000 the bangay marriage thing passed by what 20 points. And then prop 8 passed by much less than that. The arc of decency moves forward. And the more people know these are their brothers and sisters and sons and daughters stephanie you know what is going to put us over the top this picture. Thats going to make me join the Republican Party. I got that issue yesterday, and i was like wow, thats gay stephanie its beyond the candle candle obre.

Were try to keep it completely serious in the first half and then completely undo everything in the second half hour. Stephanie you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller i have a little problem with all of these obama threetime supporters. They are as bad as the george bush people. For years and years and years people ran around talk about how great george bush was stephanie who was that now . Caller go on. Caller obama is the same way how so . Caller how so . Yeah how many solders are dead because barack obama invaded a country that never attacked us. Caller but how many soldiers are dead because barack obama didnt pull the troops out like he said he would. Stephanie he did pull caller oh next question. Stephanie all right. Let him talk caller he didnt say what he was going to do. Stephanie he did exactly what he said he was going to do caller four years later stephanie he didnt say he was going to take them all out immediately caller yes, he certainly did. Now you are making stuff up mister caller no im not. Of course it is going to do something . Is it stable . Well, no. Look at how much money he spends stephanie the deficit has gone down under barack obama its the lowest level of Government Spending caller thats a lie it is not a lie. Sir, its the lowest growth in Government Spending, and keep in mind a lot of the spends of obama that you dont like is george bushs dine and dash. Stephanie and the Unemployment Rate is the lowest in four years caller i dont believe that one for second. Stephanie oh okay. Get these facts out of my face you freedom hater [ applause ] next you are going to tell me the earth is round stephanie employment rate has dropped to 7. 7 oh, and you believe that numbers lie math is a liberal plot its cyclical it has to get better and worse, but when it gets better its a lie Stephanie Kelly you are on with john. Caller oh, my god you guys are cracking me up. Every time you guys talk about Brian Kilmeade all i think about is the slow loris with the rice ball. Stephanie thats right. Caller im all for minimum wage, and i heard somebody was trying to raise it to 10. 10. Stephanie oh thats outrageous caller yes, god forbid. Stephanie look at you being smart with your facts and numbers. Thats crazy. Richard in pennsylvania. Caller good morning, stephanie. Stephanie good morning. Caller i think the president is using reverse psychology. I dont think he wants drone strikes and he has entrapped republicans in to speaking out against them. He doesnt want drone strikes. If he would have come out and said we would have had drone strikes on our soil to american citizens, the republicans would have reacted against it. Stephanie yeah, you could be right, maybe thats why Lindsey Graham reacted as he did. [ screaming ] he always reacts that way. Stephanie joe in houston oh joe has examples of obama lies. Go ahead, joe. Caller in reference to your caller a while ago, during the First Campaign for president barack obama he said he was going to close guantanamo bay. Stephanie that is one thing he tried to do and he didnt get enough votes including democratic votes. Caller lets ask what he said stephanie he didnt lie, sir he didnt get enough vote caller wait a minute. Stephanie the president is not a dictator. Caller but what did he say . A lie is what you say, and if you say comes true wait a second sir, if i tell [ overlapping speakers ] sir, if i tell a child im buying him a Star Wars Toy for christmas, and i cant get it because it is sold out, did i lie . Stephanie yes, you are a liar, daddy drug war you must be high. Viewpoint digs deep into the issues of the day. Do you think that there is any chance well see this president even say the words carbon tax . With an open mind. Has the time finally come for real Immigration Reform . And a distinctly satirical point of view. But you mentioned great leadership so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. laughter . Watch the show. Only on current tv. Can become major victories. Im phil mickelson, pro golfer. When i was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever bruising, bleeding or paleness. Since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, its the Little Things that mean the most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. Announcer Stephanie Miller. Frankly just obnoxious. So . Stop talking about [ indistinct police radio ] that way. Stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show welcome to it. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Fridays with fugelsang joined now by representative judy chu of the great state of california. Good morning. Good morning. Stephanie way good news on unemployment. Its dropped to 7. 7 and we added 236,000 jobs last month just in time for the sequester to ruin everything, right in right. Our economy is making recovery steadily, but the sequester could undermine it all. Stephanie and i hate to say it, but boy it seems like that is something the republicans dont seem to mind at this point. How do you see this playing out . Well, it looks like we are not making progress on the sequester. In fact i think the republicans are not doing that job, which is why we need this continuing resolution which merely continues on the plan thats we made in fiscal year 2012, plans made 15 to 18 months ago. Stephanie we have had real people calling the show this morning that are really feeling the pain of the skwes ration. A woman called and her husband works on a railroad. This is not a hypothetical, is it . It will not. This will literally take food out of the mouths of hungry mothers and children. The security lines at lax could take four hours during peek travel times. Stephanie do you think the president obviously having meals and meeting with people on the other side of the aisle, it is going to have any effect do you think . I do think he is doing the appropriate thing. The [ inaudible ] was passed by the house and now there are two weeks before march 11th. So he is doing the outreach that he needs to do in order to reach a compromise. Stephanie what happens march 11st . March 27th is when the sequestration will take place. If there is nothing that is passed and the government is indeed shut down, but at least the republicans are making the gesture to continue government but plenty of laws have passed since then such as health care reform, and we need to have updated plans for spending on these. Stephanie arent these later if you look at the stock market or the unemployment numbers, isnt this enough evidence that the president s policies are working and if they want to even pretend they are interested in helping the company they ought to come to come accommodation with him . Yes, his plans are working, and sequestration could make us fly backwards. All the economists say if these guts are put through, our gdp could slide backwards. Stephanie they are estimating we could lose 750,000 jobs. Yes absolutely. The effect on so many aspects of our life could be very devastating. Just in education we would lose so much from programs such as the disables education act from head start. Stephanie yeah it really is when you even have republicans agreeing these are dumb cuts, i just dont see where were going with this and on what time frame. Exactly. We should be using a scalpel and make thoughtful cuts to reduce the deficit, but not this kind of approach which will take away the most important incentive areas of our federal government. Stephanie as the president said we cant keep governing lurching from crisis to crisis. Yes, the public plays a big role. When the public become outraged, the republicans have to act. Just look at the signing of the violence against women act. Because of the outrage of the public, they allowed for that vote to go through. Stephanie yeah thats a really good point. And also it looks like at least something on guns something on immigration. I mean it does make you wonder with the economy being the number one thing and jobs on the american peoples mind you are like why cant we get something done on that . Do you think getting something done on these other issues will move us closer to getting something done on the economy . Oh, yes i think so. I think people kind of are still in in a fuzz about what southeast southeast sequester is, and until they see the actual effects they will not have the outrage that they do with guns and the violence against women act and immigration, so we need that aware out there in the public. Stephanie yes, call your representatives and let them know how you feel, right . A lot of people are saying these are really hurting my family. If you want these unemployment numbers to continue rather than go the other way you have got to bring pressure to bare right . Exactly. And there are so many things we could do to have an balanced approach. We could implement the buffet rule, which would make for a fairer tax system. These are common sense approaches. Stephanie yep. Representative chu thank you so much for taking the time with us. Thank you so much. [ applause ] stephanie can i have some comedy music why . Because this is funny. In a possible setback for the administrations controversial drone policy a new poll show the majority of americans are opposed of being killed by a drone. With 3 responding dont know no opinion. Theres no other way to interpret these numbers said the pollster. The idea of being killed by a drone not playing well out there. And the response is even more negative in a group of likely victims. One man said it doesnt even seem like the government can trying to come up with an alternative to killing us with a drone. Jay carney tried to [ inaudible ] telling reporters look people are afraid of getting killed by a drone we get that. But theres still brood public support for drones killing someone else. [ applause ] stephanie John Fugelsang in the new york bureau of sexy liberal incorporated. Yes the house that love built. Stephanie exactly. Youre on with patricia in maryland. Caller hi, stephanie. How are you doing . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i was listening to randy yesterday, and she was saying a lot of states have the drones, and american citizens should be worried about the states rather than the president. And also she said stephanie i would be more afraid of joe arpaio with a drone. Caller thats right. And i think he made it public so that they would write a law permitting i mean forbidding him from doing that. Thats another reason why the because bush did it i dont know whether people new that bush did it or not. Because she also said that bush killed 53 people by drones. So were worried about the wrong person with a drone, we need to be worried about like you said, joe arpaio, and scott walker, and all of those crazy people. We all have a constitutional right to bare drones. Stephanie yes, we all ought to have them now. Can i promo someone coming up on the show on monday. Linda carter wonder woman herself [ world news tonight theme ] is she going to wear the outfit . No, but she is going to be calling in. She has it going on. Stephanie albert in tucson, you are on with john. Hey, albert. Caller morning momma, mooks, and john. I would like to ask a question in respect to representative chu, but congress the cuts for the sequester supposedly do not apply to congress because when Congress Passes a law to razor lower their salaries it can only apply to the next congress. Stephanie right. Caller but the sequester was passed in the last congress so why doesnt it apply to them now . Interesting. Stephanie hum. Thoughtful chin scratch. I would have to read the sequester bill stephanie and to be honest im not going to be doing that. Its friday. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] of course having insomnia reading that will definitely put you under. A stephanie thats true. Justin hello. Caller hello. Why would anybody expect fast and firm domestic policy regarding drones when we cant even get sound policy on gun safety and what is a drone but a big flying gun . Robot gun. Caller im sorry . A big flying robot gun. Caller yeah a flying sophisticated gun. And i mean you know, i just dont i just dont see any kind of policy regarding drones any time soon. Were just admitting that yes, we have a drone program. Stephanie right. And we have had one for a while. Thats true. Thats not really my problem with it. My problem with it is threefold. I call it the mib problem, number 1 militants the way that according to our pentagon, and again, this is our governments policy now, anyone killed that is a male over 18 is considered a militant. If you are visiting your uncle and the bomb goes off, you are considered a mill labt. And the imminent part of it. If the government thinks someone could be a threat in ten years, that is considered imminent. And our policy states were allowed to do this to people who are an imminent threat. But the policy is anyone they think might be a threat down the line counts and imminent. It is just like militant. And finally the blowback because every time a drone kills one american hater, it creates a couple more american haters in the same neighborhood. Stephanie how traditional war has killed how Many Americans listen, this is the new normal. It will be keeping boots off of the grown, it will be safer for American Military lives. Stephanie yeah, we have had a lot of military people call in. Absolutely. But the program is still in its early years stephanie we had one soldier who said i wish we had drones in vietnam, and jim made a better point that i wish we didnt have vietnam. All right.

[ applause ] stephanie my friends sends me the headline colorado creates a special marijuana committee, and its a joint committee. John fugelsang boston sexy liberal Elizabeth Warren for senate our cause. How awesome and ass kicking is she being . Eric holder suggested wednesday some Financial Institutions have been too large. Who could have said that . I know future president Elizabeth Warren said that. He is concerned that some institutions have become so massive that bringing criminal charges against them these remarks come as a growing number of lawmakers say that big banks of effectively too big to jail. Yes she is hot. Stephanie you meant that in a policy kind of way. Terry you are on with john and company, hello. Caller good morning, stephanie. Quick comment, i am never sure if i get cut off, because you dont like my commentary or im far too radical but after listening to mary im pretty sure thats not the case. But i want to make a quick comment just to piggyback on representative chus comments the public plays a Critical Role here. Stephanie thats right. Caller the fight has just begun in my opinion, and the last comment is talk about a dream team clinton and stephanie Elizabeth Warren. Caller Elizabeth Warren stephanie how awesome would that be. And the only other thing that would trump that would be clinton, obama, michelle. Stephanie there you go. We did have a war with england to get away from inherited power as a system. Jeb bush was eating it this morning on scarborough. Really . He is trying to explain his incredible epic flip flop on immigration. He is saying buy my book but i dont mean anything in it. Because they have realized that being more open to Immigration Reform tests better than sucking up to the latino base and his whole goal is to run as theel theel electable moderate. And Chris Christie will literally eat jeb bush. Stephanie thats right. And why should i buy the book then . Exactly. Buy my book and ignore the content. Stephanie yes. Mike in ohio. Caller good morning, stephanie. Im kind of switching gears and going back to the minimum wage issue. Im a Small Business owner and i dont see the benefit in raising the minimum wage. When the minimum wage gets raised for myself, i either have to raise prices or [ inaudible ] and possibly cut people. I dont see the benefit. Stephanie wait, say that one more time. You were caller im sorry when the minimum wage rises, what i have to do as a Business Owner, is raise the prices or possibly cut people back a few hours. How much do you have to raise prices by i have between 20 and 25 employees, if the minimum wage goes up to 9 to 10 an hour, that is a 15 to 20 spike. Would increasing the minimum wage increase the buying power of your customers . No, we have probably 500 people on minimum wage in our town, minimum wage goes up and were going to have to cut back on hours. First of all you are extrapolating that every Business Owner is going to do what you do. Caller no, but right now it is hard Economic Times out there. I know they say things are getting better, but itting isnt getting that much better. If minimum wage goes up also that increases your payroll taxes as well. Yeah, every time the minimum wage goes up this happens, and it is harder on Small Businesses, but you will acknowledge it does help our economy overall, and if all of us do better all of us do better. Caller i truly dont believe everyone does better. If i look back when i was in high school, minimum wage was a lot less. [ overlapping speakers ] and you know that since you were a teenager that minimum wage has not grown in proportion
